Slid in last week with a ML and spread win with BC in the CFL ( At least I think so as Montreal has protested the outcome…not sure I blame them. Pretty questionable) Going to keep the CFL early pick alive and add an NFL play here as well. CFL early picks are at 6-2

CFL
Calgary@Edmonton: We’ll see how <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on">Calgary</st1:City> performs after handily beating <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Edmonton</st1lace></st1:City> on Labour day at home. That is always their biggest home game of the year, one that rivals any playoff game in a way. They come in and will play in front of 40,000 plus, on a grass field and I’m always nervous of the Stamps discipline. I think we’ll see a better performance from <st1:City w:st="on">Edmonton</st1:City> on Friday and a dropoff, sloppier game from <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Calgary</st1lace></st1:City>. This line had the largest discrepancy for me in pre game analysis. I’ll take <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Edmonton</st1lace></st1:City> plus 2.

NFL
SF @Arizona: The 49ers are set up to play smash mouth football and I think that will keep Warner and Fitzgerald off the field for periods of time. There is no significant time zone issue here for SF and the stadium is now a dome so the heat is not an issue. The visitor has owned this series and SB losers have been terrible in openers ( 0-9) In my pre-season analysis I’m seeing <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Arizona</st1:State></st1lace> landing at 3<SUP>rd</SUP> place in their division behind SF and Seattle in any order. We’ll see, but I’m on SF with the 6.5 points.
